Plankton Orchestra is an international, young cross-over orchestra of 20 people, ready to conquer the world. Their performances go from original compositions to re-arrangements of already existing music and covers of pop artists as well!

During their performances, there is no boundary between musician and audience. Therefore the musicians need to keep their eyes, ears and heart always open, as things can change at any given moment. This is an ensemble in which the choices of each member affects and inspires the gestures of others deeply.

The Plankton Orchestra lends their name from plankton deep in the ocean. The Plankton Orchestra wants to be source of fertility for the music scene in the Netherlands, just like its deep sea counterpart is for the creatures of the deep sea.
